Books Read (click on titles for review):
Currently Reading:
Sense & Sensibility by Jane Austen features two very different sisters who share a troubled, impoverished family background. Elinor Dashwood is practical and disciplined, Marianne capricious and emotional; both must struggle to achieve happiness in a society where men predominate and where they must balance emotional needs against financial realities. A powerful drama of family life, a chronicle of romantic misfortunes, narrated with irony and a sharp eye for hypocrisy, as well as a striking critique of early nineteenth-century society.
Books that spark my interest:
A Stranger in My Grave by Margaret Millar
Some Danger Involved by Will Thomas

I just want to thank you for posting about Roof Beam Readers Austen in August. I had been looking for something to do on my Jane Austen Society group blog and it was the perfect thing! I got in touch with Adam and got to write a fun guest post that posted on Friday.
Glad to help you out with Austen. And Adam is an awesome blogger!

I love Sense and Sensibility! It's one of my favorite Austen novels. There are several good movie adaptations, too.
